Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky
Is moving out prior to or during a divorce beneficial or harmful regarding legal
When my wife and I met, she owned her own home. We've been together for 20 months, but I never have been put on the title to the home. Does this hurt or help me in any way now that we are going to file for divorce? If I were to move out prior to us filing or during divorce proceedings, will I forfeit any legal rights that I may have and will I make myself vulnerable in any way?

Ownership prior
to marriage means she owns equity to date of
marriage, you may have some rights to share in
any increase in value of house during course of
marriage, especially if you were financially
contributing to expenses. Moving out is not determinative.
